ical capital by appealing to individual selfish
ness and fostering popular discomfort. The
President adds nothing to the free-trade argu-
ment, and the people will not be deceived by
old fallacies in new dress.
The Presidents remarks concerning the
and commonly called Combines" are emf
nently true We indorse them the more cor
daily because they are in line with recent
articles in the journal, and of other Repub-
lican expressions, notably General Harrison's
Danville speech, in which it was said these
trusts and combines of capital would soon
be used by free-traders as an argument against
the protection of American industry. The
President furnishes a quick verihcation of
this prophecy. Trusts and combines are an
unmixed evil, but they are no more due to
the protective policy than anarchism or
typhoid fever is. They might exist under
does not follow that protection must go with
them.
Politically the message is a terrible ar
raignment of the Democratic party. The
Democracy have for several years had control
of the House of Represen tatives, where alone
revenue measures can originate. They have
neither amended the tariff nor made any hon
est effort to do so. If there is anything dam
gerous or mischievous in the present situation
the responsible lity rests with them for not
having long since taken the initiative to cor
rect it. Mr. Clevelands message is a forcible
reminder of this fact, and distinct declara-
tion of Democratic policy for the future, so far
as he can control it.

THE Burns case affords Judge Irwin most
aproned fraternity of defiant law-breakers
that they need expect nothing but the hot end
of the poker in his court. Here is a most
fragrant and arrogant transgressor. There
several sentences against him appealed
from the Mayor. and one or more cases begun
against him in the Criminal Court itself.
Why none of them have been hitherto dis
posed of we do not know, nor is it pertinent
to inquirer It may be presumed that there
has been good and satisfactory reason. But
now there is new cause of action, fragrant
and defiant breach of the law, committed by
Burns simply to emphasize his disregard of
the law, and his purpose to break it at his
pleasure. He has persisted in selling liquor
without license, paying no attention to re-
peated notifications from the officers. Burns
is most fitting subject to try the experiment
upon whether the law can be executed against
his kind. It is within the power of the
house for period of sixty days. His case
can be taken up on the first day of the new
year. The evidence of his guilt will not be
hard to present, and with vigorous prosecu-
ton of the case and vigorous conduct of the
trial from the bench, there will be little diff
Guilty in securing verdict from the jury, or
else there will be a jury 60 out of the court
room with plaster that other twelve men
will care to wear the rest of their natural lives
It is high time that the iquor-law-breakers
were brought up with round turn, and
the Burns case is good one to begin with.
We shall watch it with interest.

THE decision of the Interstate commerce
Commission requiring Southern railroads to
furnish colored passengers, who have paid
frst-class fares, with accommodations equally
safe and comfortable with other frst-class
passengers, is step in the right direction.
With all their protestations of friendship for
the negro, and loud proclamations that the
blacks were treated fairly on railroads and in
public places of amusement, the fact remains
that the people of the South have persistently
put them off in second-class cars and in the
poorest portions of theaters and halls, not
withstanding the fact that most of them were
clean, respectfully dressed and well-behaved,
and had paid the same money as the white peo-
pie who prosecuted them Whether the decision
will change this state of affairs remains to be
seen; but the probability is that it will have
some effect, because the United States is back
of it, and the South has had enough of fooling
with the general government.

IT is to be regretted that the Circuit Court
could find no authority to revoke the commits
sion of the notary who took the oath of the
colored man against Mayor Denny at the un-
seasonable hour he did, and under suspicious
circumstances that would have put any honest
man upon inquiry. The notary read the affida-
Wit, and he knew it was an attack upon an hon.
orable mans character, and unless it is to be
presumed that the notary is an idiot, he must
have known that it's truth was questionable
and that it was to be used for merely partisan
and personal effect. The act shows him to
be utterly unfit to hold commission from
anybody, and to be unworthy the indorse-
ment of the court upon which he obtained
the appointment. It is evident that the
notary would not again receive the recon-
mendation of the court but it is great pity
that he cannot be driven from his office
with merited disgrace. The example would
be beneficial, and would be likely to give re-
lief from such scandals in future political
ropfaefa

We hope it is true that the Republicans
will prepare and present, at the proper time,
a revenue reform measure. The party cannot
content itself or the country simply with OPP
ability and willingness to do something. And
if they do, the people will not forget that the
only effort ever made to revise the tariff was
made by Republican Congress. That at
has ever been able to do.

THE assumption that the price of imported
articles would be reduced to consumers by
removing the tariff is not sustained by ex-
perience. Some years ago the duty on tea
and coffee was removed by this plea, and they
were placed on the free list. The repeal of
the duty threw away a revenue of $40, 000,
900 year, the payment of which was not
felt by the people, and the price of tea and
coffee was not appreciably reduced to con-
